Assistive technology and daily living challenges among students with disabilities at University of Gondar, Ethiopia: a qualitative study.

Background: Disability influences activities of daily living, leading to unsafe conditions, poor quality of life, and dependence on others and assistive technologies. Despite limited access and unmet needs, assistive technology enables users to participate in education and be independent members of their community. Students with disabilities in higher education face many challenges in their day-to-day activities and evidence is limited in the study area.

Assistive technology use and its associated factors among university students with disabilities: a case study in a developing country-mixed study design.

Purpose: Despite the recognized benefits, access to assistive technology (AT) remains limited. Identifying the current usage patterns and unmet needs of AT users could help address the challenges of students with disabilities. Thus, this study aimed to investigate AT use and its associated factors.
